Let's build a screenshot API
Heroku and similar providers can simplify the server management issues, but you can use something much better that can combine both cost efficiency and ease of deployment—Coolify:

Serverless Horrors
The creator of the blog is Andres who is also building coolify[0], a heroku/netflify self-hosted alternative. I wanted to give a shoutout to him and his product. I've been running it for a few months and love it. Really was has been kinda the secret sauce of ease of use for me to start self-hosting things like changedetector, jdownloader, vaultwarden, etc.
It also has a pretty nicely growing community where people are contributing new templates (I added one for Syncthing) and helping each other debug.
The only issue I've had with it is things kinda fall over if you run out of disk space, which happened when I was running on an instance with just 10GB storage. So a little better alerting or prevention around that would be great but otherwise it has been pretty solid.
> VPSs being “easy to manage” is a strong option full of assumptions.
There are definitely many footguns with managing a VPS but I think the threshold to get vaguely competent with a VPS is not really that far off with getting familiar with the average cloud platform - which comes with its own dangers, like the near-total inability to put an upward cap on fees that that person found out with Netlify recently.
Having a $5 VPS and knowing it's never going to cost your more than $5 might balance out a lot of things on the other side for a lot of people.
(And, as a bonus, it comes with the benefit of having a better idea of what is going on on the actual computer which is running your code.)
Platforms like https://coolify.io/ (which I have not tried, but looks interesting) seem to give you some of the abstractions that you get in cloud platforms to save you having to mess with too much low level stuff and become an expert in a billion separate systems.
If you have Debian with automatic updates that does most of the heavy lifting for you. The hardest problem I have is resisting the temptation to just install everything, because the cost to do it is capped at my VPS monthly fee.
So yep, it comes with a lot of assumptions. But so does everything!

Netlify just sent me a $104K bill for a simple static site
https://coolify.io/ might be worth a look
Hetzner or DigitalOcean with Coolify [0] works great, it's like an open source Heroku that runs on any host, you get git push to deploy, and a bunch of other features built in. It only works on one machine at a time though so it's not like a CDN but for small sites, it's great.

The 2024 Web Hosting Report
The modern iteration of these tools has taken the developer experience learnings from the Platform as a Service (PaaS) category, and will bring them to your own VM, giving you your own personal PaaS. Example of this include Dokku, Coolify, Caprover, Cloud66 and many more!

CapRover : Dumb name, awesome tool
Finally, I kinda wonder if CapRover is still alive. As I write this it has been over 60 days since there has been any activity on their GitHub.

Sandstorm: Open-source platform for self-hosting web app
Looks like Caprover https://github.com/caprover/caprover which has been around for a bit, have used in past. Any notable benefits over it?
- Is there any Django app deployment tool for VPS-based environments with UI?

How can I lock distributed resources in multi-step HTTP requests?
CapRover's NGINX doesn't support sticky sessions (see this issue).

Stupid question: Why not use 'baremetal' OS instead of docker containers to run web apps?
All the ways I've found imply dokku or caprover, to run docker for each separate app, Postgres, Redis. It's also so hard to even setup db backups (https://github.com/caprover/caprover/issues/158 https://github.com/caprover/caprover/issues/410).

Hosting for one extra large static website, several smaller static websites, all of them with at least 1 domain email... How would you do it?
Another possibility would be to use selfhosted caprover (https://github.com/caprover/caprover) for the Website Hosting. Leaves you still with the e-mail problem.

Ask HN: So you moved off Heroku, where did you go?
https://github.com/caprover/caprover/issues/661#issuecomment...
Tangentially I was looking at Render.com the other day and they also don't support zero downtime deployments if you have a mounted volume, so it's not very uncommon even on cloud platforms.
As for restarts, I didn't have that problem yet, I believe CapRover adds `restart: always` to all the running containers so they should automatically boot. You might want to check out the logs of the containers that don't restart or just always hard restart the server after a Docker update.
